Midnight Oil have added a handful of shows to their final tour, with new dates announced for Busselton, Melbourne, and Sydney. These shows are all part of the group’s final trek for 2022, following on from a few months spent in North America and Europe.
Midnight Oil have added one final date to their Resist tour, with a new show planned for Friday, 23rd September in Busselton with support from Regurgitator. Most notably though, the group have announced four new shows to take place across Sydney and Melbourne throughout September and October.
Midnight Oil – ‘Power And The Passion’
Midnight Oil’s ‘One For The Planet’ shows will see them performing their 1982 album 10-1 in full at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre on Monday, 12th September, and Sydney’s Big Top Luna Park on Wednesday, 28th September.
The band had initially planned to hold the Melbourne date back in March, but were forced to cancel after drummer Rob Hirst was diagnosed with Covid-19. A portion of proceeds from each of these gigs will be donated to environmental and Indigenous causes.
The band will also perform two special ‘One For The Road’ shows, which will see them playing an extended set of classics from every era, with dates scheduled for Melbourne’s Palais Theatre on Wednesday, 14th September, and Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Monday, 3rd October.
“From the opening track on our first album through to the last song on our new one, we’ve always been blessed to have fans who are really passionate about what we do,” Hirst said in a statement. “‘One For The Planet’ and ‘One For The Road’ are our way of acknowledging that connection over 45 years.
“We’ve all shared an amazing journey together, so we want to celebrate that by playing something for everyone in places that feel special.”
